Bonta was dead outside the front door when police arrived.

Andrew Renna, the first officer to arrive in the Coral Pointe neighborhood in Coconut Creek, was shot before he ever got out of his car and was forced to retreat. He remains hospitalized.

The next wave of police who showed found Jason Roseman, 44, bloody and armed with a shotgun. Roseman confessed to the crimes, according to a police report obtained by the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Monday.

Roseman was ordered to remain in jail without bond Monday. He’s accused of killing Bonta, her mother, and the family dog; stabbing Bonta’s boyfriend; and shooting the police officer along Northwest 57th Drive on Saturday.

Jan Kirkland was stabbed to death inside the house. A pit bull that had been shot dead was found inside.

Bonta’s boyfriend, Craig Newman, was in another neighbor’s yard “with significant stab wounds,” according to the arrest report. He remains in stable condition at a hospital.

Officer Renna was shot through the passenger’s side door and window of his patrol car. He was wearing a bulletproof vest, police say, and his right lung was punctured.

A woman answering the phone at Roseman’s employer, Pompano Beach-based Florida Welding Fabricators & Erectors Inc., said “we have nothing to say” before hanging up on a reporter Monday.

During a court appearance Monday morning, Jason Dale Roseman, 44, (left) was ordered to remain in jail without bond.

According to the arrest report, Roseman told authorities he had gone to a bar with Kirkland on Friday night when she stepped outside to take a call from an ex-boyfriend, Roger Caron. Caron, reportedly a former Broward Sheriff’s deputy, owns the Coconut Creek home where Roseman and Kirkland lived.

Roseman and Kirkland argued. She told him she was pregnant and would raise the child without him. He went to another bar, then back to the house, where he told authorities he saw a text from Caron to Kirkland on her iwatch that Caron said he was still in love with her. Roseman said Kirkland pushed him.

Walsh said Roseman attacked her on Aug. 24, 2017, straddling her on their bed and hit her in the head with a curtain rod. He held a knife to her, choking her, and threatening to kill her while chopping up the bed around her.

He eventually let her leave, but she said she couldn’t drive away because he had slashed her tires. She called 911 and hospital workers helped pick the foam from their bed out of her hair.

Prosecutors charged Roseman with domestic battery by strangulation and “touch or strike/battery/domestic violence.”

The court withheld adjudication after he pleaded no contest, and he was placed on probation through next year. As part of the probation, he was assigned to spend time in a sober house and spend 26 weeks in an intervention program for batterers.

“They [prosecutors] slapped him on the wrist when he did that to me,” Walsh said. “There is no forgiving that. He’s an animal. He’s a monster.”

With his latest arrest, Walsh said she no longer has to check under her car in fear Roseman is planning an attack. She still carries pepper spray and watches her surroundings.

Walsh said Roseman spoke of his childhood where “his dad would not only beat him but beat his mother in front of him relentlessly.” She said she hoped it would make him more sympathetic to wanting a happy family.
